Is the training suitable for me? 

If you’re able to promote health and wellbeing in your community, the Talk Cancer training can help you to make your conversations more impactful. This training is for anyone who is part of a VCSE organisation which serves the population of Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.  Registrations are not limited per organisation.

How can Talk Cancer benefit me?  

Delivered by nurse trainers, the interactive workshop will equip and empower you to raise cancer awareness in your community. It will help you by:

• Increasing your knowledge of key messages around reducing your risk of cancer, the national cancer screening programmes, and spotting cancer early. 
• Building your confidence to talk to the public about cancer. 
• Helping you to encourage people to make healthy changes, access local services and visit their GP promptly with any concerns. 
• Upskilling you to present a Cancer Research UK scripted cancer awareness presentation and manage related questions and discussion.
